Looking for a friendly and practical buddy

Looking for a friendly and practical companion for a colorful and intelligent 95-year-old woman.

This positive and talkative lady is looking for a companion for fun and sometimes some light practical support. A visit or a trip together once every two weeks is sufficient. Enjoy a nice trip to the Oude Tol together or go shopping in Bennekom or drink coffee somewhere. Calling occasionally is also nice. The lady is looking for someone who is practical and takes initiative - for example making tea or seeing that a practical job needs to be done - and who helps her maintain some focus in a conversation.

The lady moves indoors with a walker and outdoors in a wheelchair.

She is bright and broadly interested. She used to paint and weave and loves plants/gardening and listening to music.
